The family of a Long Beach grandfather shot to death in a park bathroom over the weekend believes the crime was racially motivated.

Frederick Taft’s family says a white suspect shot the 57-year-old African-American man at point-blank range at Pan American Park on Saturday afternoon.

“It’s just a random act of violence,” Taft’s sister Cheryl Malonson said. “You go to the bathroom during midday and someone shoots you for no reason?”

Police have yet to release a motive, although a racial slur was carved into a nearby park bench.
